LUCKY BAY, CAPE LE GRAND NATIONAL PARK,WA

Camp at Lucky Bay in Cape Le Grand National Park to take a photo that makes Australia look like a surreal dream: a pristine white sand beach and turquoise water beyond that appears near luminous, a colour typical of the beaches on the south coast of Western Australia. Oh, and kangaroos lounge on the sand surveying it all sunbathing. An hour’s drive from Esperance, the campsite overlooks the perfect crescent of the bay and when you’re not soaking up the sun with the roos there are some great coastal bush walks; keep an eye out for migrating whales, moving between the many islands just off the coast here. Really though, once you’ve managed to stop taking photos of them, it’s all about doing what the kangaroos do: nothing much at all.
